Miami at Virginia 3/1/21 - College Basketball Picks & Predictions

The Miami Hurricanes are set to visit John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia for an ACC clash against the Virginia Cavaliers. The Miami Hurricanes come into this matchup with a 7-15 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Clemson Tigers, 66-58. Leading the way for the Miami Hurricanes was sophomore guard Isaiah Wong as he recorded 28 points and 3 rebounds. Sophomore forward Anthony Walker had a productive outing for the Hurricanes as he pitched in 13 points and 10 rebounds.

The Miami Hurricanes had a solid shooting game against the Clemson Tigers as they connected on 22 of their 50 field goal attempts (44%), but they struggled from behind the three-point line (33.3%). The Miami Hurricanes lost the turnover battle against the Clemson Tigers (13-8), but they edged out the Tigers in the rebounding department (32-24).

The Virginia Cavaliers come into this matchup with a 15-6 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent home game against the North Carolina State Wolfpack, 68-61. Leading the way for the Virginia Cavaliers was senior forward Sam Hauser as he recorded 21 points. Joining Hauser in the frontcourt was senior forward Jay Huff who had a productive outing for the Cavaliers with 19 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 3 steals.

The Virginia Cavaliers struggled shooting the ball against the North Carolina State Wolfpack as they connected on 20 of their 54 field goal attempts (37%), and they were even worse from behind the three-point line (28%). The Virginia Cavaliers lost the turnover battle against the North Carolina State Wolfpack (9-8), and they were edged out by the Wolfpack in the rebounding department (31-30).

The Virginia Cavaliers are in desperate need of getting back on track as they have lost 3 consecutive games in ACC play, and luckily for them, they will get one of the worst teams in the league with the 3-14 Miami Hurricanes. The Cavaliers have continued to receive production from their frontcourt as Sam Hauser leads the way with 15.3 PPG and 6.8 RPG while Jay Huff is pitching in 13.6 PPG, 7 RPG, and 2.5 BPG, but they will need to receive continuous production from Murphy III and Clark. The Cavaliers are still an elite defensive team as they are holding their opponents to an average of 60.6 PPG, but the same can’t be said about the Hurricanes as they are allowing an average of 75.1 PPG in ACC play. Final Score Prediction, Virginia Cavaliers win and cover ATS 80-61.
